What year Corvette was that, Buddy??
Earlier Corvettes- from fifties into the sixties - the VIN plate was attached either to the steering column (under the hood), or do the drivers door jamb (by screws - since the body was fiberglass). My '69, '72, and '90 corvettes have the 'viewable' VINs thru the windshield (as I think all cars have had since '69 - or '68?)..
